Microsoft Office for Android now available for free

Microsoft also released Office for Android and made it free to download, requiring no Office 365 subscription whatsoever.

You will be able to view AND edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint files while on the go for free. If you, however, want your docs, spreadsheets and presentations synced with your computer, you’ll still have to pay Microsoft for the Office 365 license.

While free solutions like Google Docs are getting better with the day, they are still not the “real Office replacement.” Fans of the Excel used to say that the only replacement for Excel could be the earlier version of Excel. No other software comes even close to managing spreadsheets.
